What do you think about this 69 RS?

DWCamaro69 · #1 05-11-2006, 05:56 AM

I just did "BIN" on this car. The seller has contacted me and wants to give me money to go away as he says there was another party who believed that he had made a deal outside of ebay to buy the car and he feels bad about it. Regardless of whether or not you believe that story I now have a decision to make. Please let me know your opinions on the originality and collectabilty of this car. Thanks!

I like it, to bad the deal will sour someone but if your locked in fly out inspect/pay for it and store it somewhere and have the car shiped home.

someone must live around there that can lock it up for you for a week until Fred can grab it.

I like the car as well. I posted about this car to discuss the DX1 hood stripes. Seller never explains which wheels come with car (i.e. dog dishes or ralley's) which were original to car. It is amazing to me what prices are for these cars.

I really like it too....it's a sweetheart! . I remember looking at this a few days back and loved the shot w/ the steel wheels and doggers. . Looks super clean and hugger too....you're the winner, don't let it get away! .

Like the undercarriage of this ride. Nice original patina. Your mission is to make him "feel bad" about this situation to the OTHER guy who supposedly cut a deal outside of ebay. The scales are tipped ever so slightly in your favor. Now massage it to an overwhelming victory! Good luck.

Take no chances in delay of getting your deposit to this guy or mess up on any of the auction conditions. . Looking at his history he appears to be an vintage tractor guy so hopefully a good ol' boy? . I see a Z10 car in his history too. . Good luck....this thing looks beter the more you look at it! .

As soon as the seller receives the deposit, request a bill of sale, with both of your signatures included. Pay the remaining balance, and bring that baby home. Good Luck!

The seller probably wants you to offer him more money over and above the BIN price. I'll bet a higher offer from you would turn him right around and cure his bad feelings and possible seller's remorse. I wonder if your taking of the BIN price caused him to think that it may have been too low and now he's shuffling around in the dirt with his hands in his pockets trying to get more money for the car. Makes you wonder if there's really another buyer.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Well I told him that I wanted to buy the car as agreed through ebay. He was perfectly fine with that. The "other" party was a dealer or at least wheeler/dealer in NY. Deposit is on the way and I am going to go get it myself. Fred was booked up and didn't know when he could get it so its time for a road trip! The more I looked at the car I realized I didn't want to let go of it for a few bucks. Except for the hood and maybe the spoilers it is so original! Not to many around like it these days. And to someone who asked, it comes with both sets of wheels and tires. The dog dish and Good Year bias are whats going to be on the car as soon as it gets home. I will sell the rallys and redlines as they do nothing for me. Thank you very much for all your advice and opinions!
